Mornin’, folks! Life’s a lot like a fence post—stand tall, weather the storms, and hold things together.
It’s another chilly start here in Port Loring, with the temperature sitting at -11.3°C (11.66°F).
 Today | 12°-4° | Very cold with a blend of sun and clouds |
 Wednesday | 7°-2° | A little snow at times in the morning with little or no accumulation; otherwise, cloudy and very cold |
Stay warm, and perhaps it’s a good day to work on your mystery novel or some indoor woodworking projects!
Highway 522 is clear of snow this morning, making for smooth and safe travel for those who need to head out. It’s a welcome sight for this time of year, especially here in the north, where winter often has its way with our roads.
On another note, I kept myself busy yesterday working away in my woodworking shop. Managed to get two legs turned for my wife’s new harvest table, and if all goes well today, I should have them finished up. But, you never know—things don’t always go as planned, so we’ll just have to see how it all works out.
One thing’s certain, though: there’s nothing quite like spending time in the shop with the old wood stove ticking away, while the cold wind does its thing outside. It’s a good way to take your mind off the not-so-good things.
Today, I figure I’ll be doing much the same as yesterday—back to the shop to finish what I started. I was out early this morning to get the wood stove fired up, and I have to say, no matter how cold it gets, there’s something about that first breath of crisp, fresh air that just makes a person feel good inside. It’s invigorating, like a little reminder of the simple pleasures that come with living up here in the north.
So, with that, it’s time to sit down and enjoy the breakfast my lovely wife has made for me, followed by our usual morning chat over a steaming cup of hot cocoa. Now, what could be better than that to start the day?
No rush to be anywhere these days—life isn’t like it used to be, running here and there, trying to keep up with everything. But you know what? We’ve earned the pleasure of taking things a bit easier now. There’s a certain satisfaction in slowing down and savoring these simple moments—moments that, looking back, are really the best parts of life.
In Closing I hope your day is filled with little pleasures, just like mine is starting out. You all have a great day, and until next time—keep your minds open and your stories alive! GW
